Simple slingshot

A slingshot is a small hand-powered ranged weapon. The classic form consists of a Y-shaped frame held the hand, with two natural-rubber strips or tubes attached to the upper two ends. The other ends of the strips lead back to a pocket that holds the projectile. The hand grasps the pocket and draws it back to the desired extent to provide power for the projectile, up to a full span of the arm with sufficiently long bands.

Materials needed

Slingshots are made up of two main parts: the frame, which is held by the user, and the power, which is used to launch the projectile.

Use

Slingshots can be used to hunt small game, including turkeys and squirrels.
